Day of the Dead Quilts Workshop
Page Tools
Join us for a Quiltmaking Workshop with Maria G. Herrera, assisted by Stitches of the Soul, the quilting and fiber art group of the NMMA. In this workshop, students will create a Day of the Dead quilt using a skull template to make their own 8” x 10” quilt. Techniques used in the project include appliqué, embroidery, and free motion on a sewing machine. No prior experience is needed. Email dolores@nationalmuseumofmexicanart.org for more information and to sign up.
Fee: $100 (materials included)
Ages 15+
Please note: this bilingual workshop takes place over two days: November 1st and 8th from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm.
